The mountain has become the center of tourist destinations in West Nusa Tenggara Province, with hiking as the most popular activity carried out by visitors. This study aimed to identify physical and biological hazard potentials and activities that may put visitors at risk to prepare hazard management recommendations. We carried out an interview and field observation for the study in April 2018. We used the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) risk assessment as a reference in biological and physical hazard analysis, and the National Patient Safety Agency for human activities. We also used ArcGIS 10.1 software to develop a map of hazard potentials. Cliff (physical hazard), tree roots (biological hazard), and running (activity) were hazards with the highest risks. All four management options offered by the UNEP, i.e., reducing risk, accepting the tolerable risk, avoiding risk, and transferring risk, were applicable in this area. We proposed that the management considering to increase local community and visitors' knowledge of hazards as a preventive measure while continuing to provide repressive measures. Abstract Introduction In tourism, hazard affects not only the visitors or tourists involved in the accident but also the image of the destination and the management itself. Accidents may leave an unpleasant memory that brings in bad images in the visitors' minds. Since recollection of memories may influence visitors in making a choice , a bad impression of an accident may prevent visitors from coming back to the area where the accident happened. argues that there was a significant correlation between the image of a (Pigram, 1983) Suharto (2016) Hazard is something with damaging potentials. The UNISDR defined hazard as "a potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation." Hazard may come from a different source, i.e., natural, technological, social, and intentional hazards (2015) (UNISDR, 2004; Alexander, 2013) (Gupta, 2013) (Gupta, 2013) , and it is a contributing factor to risk . While hazard is an "existing situation" or source, the risk is the probability of 'harmful consequences' or predictable loses resulted from the combination of hazard and vulnerability of the community (UNISDR, 2004; Kumpulainen, 2006). tourism destination and visitors' safety and security. He further suggests that the image influence visitors' motivation to visit the destination . (Suharto, 2016) Aside from the financial consequences, destination managers must ensure their visitors' safety. Ensuring visitors' safety means managing the hazards found in the area. Hazard Satisfaction also plays an important role in ensuring a return visit. It is "a strong indicator of loyalty" (Adinegara et al., 2017). Higher satisfaction would lead to a higher intention of return visit . A study by (Kwon & Park, 2002) (Aliman et al., 2016) also showed that destination image has a significant influence on visitors' satisfaction. Considering that safety may affect the destination image, it may also affect visitors' satisfaction toward a destination. Safety facility is among the factors that influence the intention of return visit . It is not the sole factor, but it is an important factor in tourism . If visitors' motivation or their intention to re-visit a destination is decreasing, this would eventually result in a decreasing number of visits. For destination management, this will also lead to financial consequences, a decrease in the income generated from the visits.
